Lyrics:

1. It's a world of laughter,
A world of tears.
It's a world of hopes,
And a world of fears.
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware.
It's a small world after all.

2. There is just one moon,
And one golden sun,
And a smile means
Friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide,
And the oceans are wide,
It's a small world after all.

Refrain: It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world.
